Travel Safety Tips for the Holiday Season
⚠️🦃Being injured in a distracted driving accident is never a fun way to spend the holidays. Please stay focused and be aware of all the other turkeys on the road around you. Here are some additional tips for those long holiday drives:
1. Get Enough Sleep: Drunk and drowsy driving are similar; a lack of sleep is one of the greatest dangers for motorists taking long road trips. Drowsiness can significantly raise your chances of being involved in an accident.
2. Inspect Your Vehicle: Your vehicle cannot protect you if certain parts are not in working condition. Before setting out on a trip, it is wise to receive a tune-up. A qualified mechanic can check your brakes and pads, head and tail lights, car battery, tires, and fluids.
3. Always Remember to Drive Safely During Your Trip: Long-distance driving requires extra attentiveness to road etiquette and safety. Use extra caution while traveling through work zones.
4. Do Not Speed: You should pay careful attention to speed limits during your travels.
5. Always Avoid Distractions: Drivers should never use mobile phones, eat, or apply makeup.
6. Be Nice: Never tailgate other drivers, and do not drive in the left-hand passing lane.
Happy Holidays!! ❤️💛💚
